Summary

Patents are not currently categorized by technology domain (e.g., AI, semiconductors, materials science). Adding automated classification tags would improve filtering and analytics.

What to Do

  • After a patent is analyzed, send the abstract/claims to the LLM with a classification prompt to assign one or more technology domain tags
  • Define a canonical tag list (e.g., ai, semiconductors, materials, biotech, networking, other)
  • Store tags in a new patent_tags column (text array) on the patents table
  • Expose tags in the /analyze response and in the Analytics page filter controls
  • Add a ?tags=ai,semiconductors filter to the /analyze/batch GET endpoint

Acceptance Criteria

  • Classification runs automatically as part of the analysis pipeline
  • Tags are persisted to the database
  • Tags appear in the API response for individual and batch results
  • Analytics page allows filtering by tag
  • Unit tests cover the classification prompt call (mocked LLM) and DB storage

Adding automated classification tags would improve filtering and analytics. ## What to Do - After a patent is analyzed, send the abstract/claims to the LLM with a classification prompt to assign one or more technology domain tags - Define a canonical tag list (e.g., `ai`, `semiconductors`, `materials`, `biotech`, `networking`, `other`) - Store tags in a new `patent_tags` column (text array) on the patents table - Expose tags in the `/analyze` response and in the Analytics page filter controls - Add a `?tags=ai,semiconductors` filter to the `/analyze/batch` GET endpoint ## Acceptance Criteria - [ ] Classification runs automatically as part of the analysis pipeline - [ ] Tags are persisted to the database - [ ] Tags appear in the API response for individual and batch results - [ ] Analytics page allows filtering by tag - [ ] Unit tests cover the classification prompt call (mocked LLM) and DB storage ## Reference Roadmap item: P3 -- Patent classification tagging

Triage: P3 / Medium. Adds LLM classification step to analysis pipeline, new DB column, and filter support. Well-scoped with clear tag list.

Delegation: @developer -- clear requirements, integration into existing pipeline with mocked LLM tests.

Priority within P3 backlog: LOW -- nice-to-have analytics enhancement.

Triage: Assigning to @developer. Medium-complexity feature (P3). Add LLM classification prompt after patent analysis, define canonical tag list, store tags in new column. Isolated scope.
